    P1.25-004 - Deep venous thrombosis prevention effect of electrical stimulation of acupoint combinations in elderly bedridden patients after major surgery (ID 809)

    09:30 - 16:30  |  Author(s): L. Hou
    • Abstract

    Background
    not applicable

    Methods
    During November 2010 to October 2011, 160 elderly bedridden patients after major surgery were divided into the conventional care group, “invigorating qi and promoting qi” group, “Blood-activating and Dampness-eliminating” group and acupoint-combination stimulation group. Whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, D-dimer, lower limb skin temperature, lower limb circumference and flow velocities of the external iliac vein, the femoral vein, the popliteal vein and the calf deep veins in all patients were documented and compared as four individual groups.

    Results
    Whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, D-dimer and lower limb circumference were significant reduced in “Blood-activating and Dampness-eliminating” group compared to conventional care group (P<0.05) and almost equal to the results in acupoint-combination stimulation group (P>0.05). Lower limb venous flow velocities were accelerated in“invigorating qi and promoting qi” group compared to groups other than the acupoint-combination stimulation group (P<0.05).

    Conclusion
    Hemorheological indexes in postoperative bedridden elderly patients were improved after electrical stimulations of Yinlingquan (SP 9) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) in combination. Electrical stimulations of Zusanli (ST 36) and Taichong (LR 3) in combination, on the other hand, accelerated the lower limb venous flow.

    P3.25-003 - Effects of electric stimulation to acupoints on gastrointestinal hormones and motility among old postoperative patients with lung tumors (ID 804)

    09:30 - 16:30  |  Author(s): L. Hou
    • Abstract

    Background
    Recently, early movement on bed was encouraged to promote gastrointestinal function recovery. However, due to old ages and weak physical strength, the effects remain limited.

    Methods
    We selected 40 old patients with lung tumors receiving surgeries between January 2009 and December 2010.The patient evenly randomly assigned them into regular nursing care group(RNC) and acupoint electric stimulation group(AES) group each with 20 cases. Patients in the RNC group received regular nursing care and patients in the AES group received regular nursing care plus electric stimulation on acupoints. We evaluated the serum concentration of gastrin(GAS), motilin(MOT), cholecystokinin(CCK) and electrogastrogram(EGG) on the first, third and fifth day after surgery. We also recorded the anal exhaust time and the number of cases with such gastrointestinal function disorders as abdominal pain, abdominal distention and diarrhea.

    Results
    Comparison between two groups in GAS, MOT, EGG, the anal exhaust time, abdominal pain, abdominal distention and diarrhea showed significant statistical difference(P<0.05).

    Conclusion
    Electric stimulation on acupoints could increase postoperative GAS, MOT levels, promote recovery of gastrointestinal functions and decrease complications among senile patients with lung tumors.
